The Restigouche River is known as one of the best salmon-fishing rivers in the world. Originating in the mountains of western New Brunswick, the Ristigouche River flows in a north-easterly direction to the Bay of Chaleur, dividing the provinces of Quebec and New Brunswick in its final 40 miles. Bright salmon begin entering the river in mid-May. From this time through the month of June, the average fish taken is 18 pounds with better than 10% over 30 pounds. These are magnificently conditioned and incredibly strong fish. It is quality fishing at its very best. American fishing enthusiast Dean Sage (1841-1902) starts with the geography and history of the Restigouche before dealing with the habits of the salmon and the history of fishing clubs, while entertaining the reader with many interesting fishing stories throughout.<\/p>\n
